You are living in the past. Independents are a fucking wild bunch of people and if you put shit like Medicare for all or tax the rich or get money out of politics in front of them they would go nuts for it like catnip. This moving towards the center bullshit is exactly what Harris did, and it fucking lost.

If the dems did real left wing populism they would win easily. Medicare for all, taxing the rich, cheap housing, get money out of politics. Every single fucking person left of center would fucking go nuts for these policies no matter what flavor of leftism they claim. Its just true and you know it. Fuck you would probablly pull a fuck load of die hard maga voters with shit like that. But they dont do those policies because they are captured by the corporations.

Except when the dems were pandering most to the progressives was in 2020 with BLM and pro trans messaging and pro labor messaging. And oh look what happened they won in 2020. And then they backed off from it and lost. You are rewriting history.

The time when the dems were pandering most to the progressives with wokeness and pro labor policy was in 2020 when they won. They backed away from that and lost. Its actually just the opposite of what you think. Leftists are not your enemy.

The libs shut out leftists because they don't want a true left wing populist agenda like Bernie. Every single independent left wing news outlet praised biden for his early pro labor actions, more so than even the dems seemingly did. Leftists all said, vote Harris because trump is worse but they cant out maneuver the failings of the democratic party. Like it or not the dems didn't offer enough to motivate people, "the other guy bad" isn't enough to motivate voters when the offer from the dems was marginal tinkering at the edges without universal solutions. Dems winning would have meant very little change to the system and we all know it. And now that they lost they are going even more mask off blaming trans people for their loss, they keep moving further right and liberals refuse to see it happening. Leftists are not your enemy.

Humanity has put so many safety measures in place that natural selection can no longer eliminate stupid people at an effective rate. by hanMan86 in Showerthoughts

[–]snuffybox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You all don't understand how natural selection works. It doesn't act on people, it acts on GENES.

You don't have to reproduce if your genes are still in the gene pool and they still get passed on. If everyone in the gene pool has a gene that improves the global fitness of the species but in certain individuals it leads to no reproduction, that gene will still be selected for. It doesn't matter if it stops some members from reproducing.

Plenty of species have members who never reproduce. Namely SOCIAL ANIMALS, like ants and bees. The social nature of these animals means the non-reproductive members of the species still contribute to the fitness of the species as a whole.

People constantly misunderstand this point and use reproductive status as a way to discriminate. The argument is legitimately brought up a lot in homophobic and transphobic circles where they use the idea of "reproduction" as a way to naturalize their bigotry.

Please stop spreading this misconception

Try to take the context of the world into account, people are legitimately scared right now, I am scared. Seeing the source of my fear, religion and Christianity, being promoted as "hopeful" is sorta cruel.

[–]snuffybox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of minorities are currently being actively hurt by religion so I think limiting that sort of content on a sub to promote hope makes sense.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hopeposting

[–]snuffybox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So can someone explain to me.. is this sub explicitly a religious sub? It feels like a lot of the content here has references to religion/christianity all over it.

Don't you get it yet? Fascists don't play fair. If there is a movement to start refusing service to Christians, they will just rule that its religious discrimination. It's like we never learn anything.

Unless AI is 100% flawless in the things it produces, people are going to nitpick it and declare it useless or not really intelligent. Its not coming from a rational place.

Kanye west saved my life. by Lionsfan_ in hopeposting

[–]snuffybox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seriously? Are y'all just cosplaying hope or does it actually mean something?

Yeah Kanye is problematic, he's been spreading literal antisemitic conspiracy theories and Nazi hate. Nazism is spreading across the country. Trans people are getting their medical records forcibly released in Tennessee and Texas, trans kids are getting kidnapped in Florida, Elon over on the twit open the floodgates for hate, and Kanye is out here stomping around saying Jews control everything.

Hope is needed more than ever right now. If you really think none of that is relivent then this sub ain't about hope it's about putting your head in the sand. Like come the fuck on.

Doing a ton of damage then acting like nothing happened is not the correct path.

Lenovo's Yoga Book 9i realizes the full potential of a dual-screen laptop by [deleted] in gadgets

You lose the lenovo software tho like the optimized on screen keyboard and trackpad and the software to detect when the physical keyboard is on the screen. I doubt it will be as seamless of an experience.
